A standoff between police and an armed man in Novi ended peacefully early Thursday afternoon when the 20-year-old man surrendered. There were no injuries.

The incident took place on Olde Orchard Street, near 10 Mile, just west of Haggerty. A press release from the city said police responded shortly before 10 a.m. to a call about a gunman in a home there.

Some nearby residents were evacuated or were seeking shelter in their homes during the standoff. The man appeared to be alone in the home, the press release said.

The gunman surrendered around 12:30 p.m. after being talked out of the home, city officials said, and the scene was secured.
